Syria’s new rulers tighten security around Iran embassy: Report
HTS militants have cordoned off the embassy and closed its main entrances as part of these measures, in what seems to be an attempt at de-escalating tensions with Tehran, a key ally of former president Bashar al-Assad.
They are also preventing anyone from approaching the embassy or defacing it with anti-Iran graffiti.
Armed militants, led by HTS, overthrew the Assad government on December 8 following a lightning offensive that was launched in their stronghold in Syria’s northwest and reached Damascus in less than two weeks.
